With the rapid evolution of professions, 54% of current jobs could be transformed by 2030 (source: France Stratégie, 2022). In this context, professional skills management is no longer just a matter of individual development, but a pillar of HR strategy.  

How can these skills be identified, valued, and developed to support organizational transformation? Thanks to digital tools such as HRIS, HR departments now have concrete levers at their disposal to structure this management while supporting employees' career paths.

Why professional skills are strategic for the company 

Professional skills encompass all the expertise, interpersonal skills, and knowledge that an employee applies in their work. They are no longer limited to technical mastery: creativity, stress management, communication, and adaptability have become essential. 

In a constantly changing job market, knowing exactly which skills are available internally, which are lacking, and which need to be developed is essential for: 

  • anticipate changes in professions, 
  • facilitate internal mobility, 
  • structure training courses, 
  • Strengthen the employer brand by showing that the company cares about developing its talent. 

As a survey by Pôle Emploi (the French national employment agency) points out, 78% of employers struggle to recruit due to a lack of candidates with the right skills (source: Pôle Emploi, 2023). Having a detailed overview of internal skills and a clear development policy therefore becomes a competitive advantage. 

How to better manage skills through digital technology 

Implementing effective skills management today requires tools capable of supporting the identification, monitoring, and development of these key resources. 

An HRIS (Human Resources Information System) allows you to: 

  • centralize and update the skills of each employee, 
  • linking skills to positions, projects, and strategic needs, 
  • Identify skill gaps in order to anticipate action plans (recruitment, training, mobility). 
  • facilitate professional interviews by incorporating a skills dimension, 
  • monitor each employee's progress throughout their career. 

For HR, this provides a dynamic and shared view of human resources, while simplifying the administrative processes involved in skills management.
